Chapter 758: A bunch of beasts!

I had also thought up a bunch of persuasive words for the disciples, to have them consider the overall situation and such.

But I never expected this bunch of little brats to agree without hesitation, and they even looked very supportive.

They kept saying things like 'muddy water to catch fish,' 'more people means more opportunities,' and so on.

"I said, 'Are you guys crazy?'"

"'Peak Master, rest assured, we firmly support the sect's decision.'"

The disciples had no objections, Hong Zun and the other Peak Masters returned to the City Lord's Mansion in a daze, and Qi Xiong, upon hearing their report, was also stunned.

"'This bunch of little brats has no opposition at all?'"

"'Not only do they not oppose, they practically raised both hands in approval.'"

"'I'm puzzled—how did this bunch of little brats become so generous this time? Usually, when mentioning a meal, they wouldn't even give face to their own brothers.'"

"'Yeah, I've thought about it all the way and still can't figure it out.'"

"'Forget it, since these little brats have no objections, let's just decide this as is.'"

"'Can't figure it out, so I'll just not think about it; the rule for grabbing meals was set like this, and Qi Xiong also had the elders convey this requirement to the cultivators of the various sects.'"

Actually, the reason the Dao Yi Sect disciples don't object is simple: they never even considered these cultivators worth noticing.

As for Zhongzhou cultivators, at the same realm, our Dao Yi Sect disciples are confident they won't lose to anyone.

Perhaps only those Holy Land disciples could match them in battle at the same realm.

So putting them together to grab meals poses no problem—after all, it won't be them eating the meals.

Moreover, the clever disciples realized that with more people, perhaps they could actually sneak a meal amidst the chaos.

Why would anyone refuse such a good thing?

As for the cultivators of the various sects, after learning the meal‑grabbing rule, they didn't think much of it.

There are too many people; Fan Zu can't keep up, each meal already requires three hundred thousand portions—it's indeed not easy.

Moreover, the Dao Yi Sect gave them a fair chance to compete, so naturally no one would have objections.

On the contrary, they feel grateful to the Dao Yi Sect.

Look, those sect disciples would rather grab meals with them—this shows what? It's magnanimity.

Compared to the Qingtian Holy Land, this isn't an immediate judgment of superiority?

The cultivators haven't yet realized the problem here; in their view, fair competition means some will get to eat, and it's still competition at the same realm.

The rule was made very clear, so when mealtime arrived, everyone inside the Myriad Monster Pass thought of rushing to the kitchen.

Everyone knows that from this meal onward, to get food you must rely on real skill.

"'At the same realm, I fear no one.'"

"'Look at my Silkworm Hand.'"

A young disciple hurried toward the kitchen, but just as he reached a corner, out of nowhere, a Dao Yi Sect disciple leapt up, struck with a palm, and instantly restrained the young disciple.

"Holy shit............."

He had no preparation at all, and besides, didn't we agree to grab the meal? Why did they attack before even reaching the City Lord's Mansion?

"'You're breaking the rules, you're ambushing..........'"

Held fast, unable to move, the young disciple glared at that Dao Yi Sect disciple and shouted.

As for that, the Dao Yi Sect disciple merely said lightly.

"'Which rule says you can't act mid‑way, that you must act only in the City Lord's Mansion?'"

"Huh???"

Upon hearing that, the young disciple thought carefully and realized, yeah, the rules set by the superior sect indeed don't have that clause.

"I............."

He opened his mouth, but the young disciple couldn't utter a word; seeing this, the Dao Yi Sect disciple waved his hand and said.

"'Alright, rest now—I'll eat this meal for you; this is called 'all's fair in war.'"

"'Damn it, damn it.............'"

The cultivators of the various sects never expected the Dao Yi Sect disciples to be so shameless.

They actually attacked mid‑way, so before even reaching the City Lord's Mansion, the sect cultivators had already been mostly dealt with.

Worse still, some were ambushed by Dao Yi Sect disciples right as they left the gate.

All they wanted was to eat, who would have thought these Dao Yi Sect disciples would completely disregard convention, not waiting for the City Lord's Mansion but attacking mid‑way?

Moreover, their justification leaves no room for rebuttal, which is really infuriating.

Their methods are vile, their minds malicious, they excel at exploiting rule loopholes; even more outrageous, each and every Dao Yi Sect disciple has extremely high cultivation in those techniques.

Especially their control‑type techniques—perfection‑level ones are rare, almost all are at the transformation stage.

This really gives many cultivators a headache.

"Beasts, a bunch of beasts."

They didn't even make it to the City Lord's Mansion before being taken down, unable to break free; smelling the aroma in the air and watching the Dao Yi Sect disciple stride away, many cultivators cried out to heaven.

They never imagined the Dao Yi Sect disciples could be so sinister.

They block, ambush, strike from behind—truly leaving no tactic unused.

"'Isn't the Dao Yi Sect supposed to be the leader of the righteous path in Dongzhou? A proper orthodox sect?'"

"'This is a proper orthodox sect? This is more like a demonic sect from somewhere.'"

"'Dark, this is really dark—dark without limits.'"

Right off the bat they take down ordinary people, while inside the City Lord's Mansion, those fortunate cultivators who made it there.

Rushing eagerly through the gate, they also wondered.

"'Weird, why are there so few people today? Not counting the Dao Yi Sect disciples, what about others? They're not even eating.'"

Could it be that they heard there'd be competition and got scared?

No way, is there still someone who doesn't want to eat?

Or maybe they went into Xiūliàn meditation and forgot to eat?

The crowd had dwindled by more than half—something that had never happened before.

If those cultivators who have already been restrained hear these words, they'll surely curse them out.

You fucking just went into Xiūliàn meditation, and you're saying you don't want to eat? I'm telling you, I fucking got ambushed!

If those Dao Yi Sect disciples had any decency, they wouldn't have sunk this low—they can't even reach the City Lord's Mansion gate.

Never mind, never mind, just eat, just eat.

After a few offhand remarks, the cultivators stopped worrying—when it's Fàn diǎn, eating is all that matters.

But just as they had run into the gate, they were met with a surrounding attack by the Dao Yi Sect disciples.

Cotton Palm, Entangling Hand, Silkworm Hand—all kinds of restraining techniques, they just come straight to slap your face.

Holy shit.........

In just one encounter, many cultivators were instantly subdued.

"Dao Yi Sect disciples—watch out!"

"Attack!"

But soon enough, the cultivators snapped back to their senses and launched a counterattack.

But as they fought, they realized something was off—what's with these Dao Yi Sect disciples? Is every single one of them this agile?

Not to mention their high rank—most of them are practically in the Transformation Realm, fuck, that's absurd; they're slippery as loaches, you can't land a hit.
